Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 23 Thunderbolt Baby
"seriously?"

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow.

This guy in front of me is so rich and powerful, offering such a generous reward just to vent my anger on Beibei.

"of course!"

Xu Sanshi grinned, then leaned close to Huo Yuhao's ear and whispered, "Just a heads up, that kid's attacks are all energy attacks except for his third soul skill. His fourth soul skill has a short charging time, you can try to interrupt it. Also..."

In just a few dozen seconds, Xu Sanshi revealed all of Bei Bei's secrets, almost including the cooldown times of his various skills and his behavioral habits.

They wished they could tell what kind of fart he was going to say just by raising his hand.

"The rest is up to you!"

After quickly shaking it off, Xu Sanshi patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder with satisfaction.

Now it's time to watch the show.

"What did he tell you?"

Wang Dong glanced at Xu Sanshi's retreating figure and asked curiously. Xiao Xiao also turned her gaze towards him.

"Beibei's seven-inch spot".

A light gradually shone in the depths of Huo Yuhao's eyes.

……

"Both sides, to your positions!"

The referee raised one hand high and then brought it down sharply: "The fight begins!"

"Swish"

Wang Dong then leaped into the air, a bright blue light emanating from behind him. A pair of large, warm-glowing butterfly wings unfolded in mid-air, gazing at Bei Bei from afar.

Just as Xiao Xiao was about to release her martial soul, Huo Yuhao stopped her, saying, "Don't rush."

Standing opposite them now is a complete offensive-type Beast Soul Sect. If they rashly release the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, they might be bombarded by several of the opponent's soul skills and blown up on the spot, directly crippling a teammate.

"The second spirit ring is actually a thousand years old."

Beibei glanced at Wang Dong with some interest, then turned her attention to Huo Yuhao, greeting him with a smile: "Brother Yuhao, I didn't expect to see you again."

As she spoke, Beibei shifted to the side, looking for an opportunity to make a quick advance.

"Ah."

Huo Yuhao stared intently at his subtle movements, his mental probe already covering Bei Bei's entire body: "I haven't seen him since school started, I miss him terribly—"

Pi!

Before Huo Yuhao could finish speaking, Bei Bei transformed into a bolt of blue lightning and rushed out, instantly covering dozens of meters to reach him.

"Light of the Butterfly God!"

Wang Dong immediately activated his Millennium Soul Skill, and more than a dozen dazzling light clusters burst forth from the golden light patterns on his butterfly wings, trailing streams of light as they hurtled towards the high-speed movie below.

It's a pity that it's still a step too late.

"Thunder!"

Beibei's figure flashed for a moment, and then countless electric snakes flashed in the air at the same time, forming a dense blue electric net that engulfed the light bullets, and even carrying the residual force towards Wang Dong.

No sooner had one attack been launched than Bei Bei suddenly reached out and slammed towards Huo Yuhao: "Sorry, Yuhao! I won't hold back easily on the arena!"

The first soul skill, Thunder Dragon Claw.

As the spirit rings flashed, a thick lightning claw print shot out from Bei Bei's hand, heading straight for Huo Yuhao's face.

Speed...and power!
Beibei's offensive was far superior to Xu Sanshi's defensive style. Her moves were fierce and powerful, and her attacks were swift and left no gaps, giving her opponent no chance to breathe.

Even among those of the same level, apart from defensive Soul Masters, few can withstand it head-on.

'It seems the decision was right...'

Huo Yuhao's eyes changed slightly, and he instantly unleashed a mental interference attack: "Xiao Xiao!"

hum~
A heavy cauldron with inscriptions emerged from the yellow light, instantly splitting into three, which floated in a triangular shape above Beibei.

"The most important weapon of the country, the shock of the tripod!"

Xiao Xiao's two soul rings shone brightly at the same time, accompanied by the suppressive power of the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron. The air within a ten-meter radius around her instantly twisted and fluctuated, and was compressed with a bang.

The layers of black ripples that splashed from the cauldron overlapped and grew stronger, causing the light and shadow images within the attack range to tremble and shake.

"Well!"

Having taken the brunt of the attacks from the center, Bei Bei let out a muffled groan. He felt the light and shadows before his eyes suddenly shift, his entire body feeling as if it had been brutally crushed by a pressure machine and then stuffed into a blender, kneaded into a ball. His soul power was thrown into disarray. "Bang!"

The lightning claw mark, which was right next to him, exploded into tiny arcs of electricity that swept across Huo Yuhao's cheek. In the faint blue lightning, a pair of golden eyes lit up.

Soul impact!

"Butterfly God's Light!" A low shout echoed in the sky as Wang Dong, whose clothes were slightly scorched, unleashed his full power.

First came the mental hammer, then the light bombardment.

Unable to react in time and pinned to the spot, Beibei could only endure the attacks while in her possessed state.

"boom!"

The dazzling golden light radiated outwards, but the energy released from the explosion was suppressed near the ground by the force field of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, giving Beibei another bath.

“So magical…”

Wang Dong covered his eyes in surprise.

The moment the battle began, it was as if a holographic map had been activated in their minds. Every move of their opponents, every change in the environment, the trajectory and distance of their movements, and so on, all emerged with a flash of their thoughts.

They could even understand and put into practice Huo Yuhao's commands instantly, without any difficulty in comprehending them.

"Huo Yuhao, did you make this?"

Xiao Xiao was stunned, feeling that the world around her had never been so clear.

"We'll talk later."

Huo Yuhao stared intently at the center of the explosion, then his expression suddenly changed: "Back off!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a violent surge of soul power erupted from the very center of the explosion. The terrifying force instantly propelled the three cauldrons into the air, and Wang Dong, who was suspended in mid-air, was naturally knocked over by the surge of soul power.

*Crack!*
Within the billowing smoke and dust, blue lightning flickered faintly, outlining a human figure with an extremely dangerous aura.

"call!"

The heavy black shadow trembled, and the dust was swept away by the fierce wind, revealing a pair of dragon wings covered in lightning.

At this moment, Beibei had completely transformed her arms into dragon claws, and the gleaming dragon scales covered almost her entire upper body, revealing an aura of impenetrability.

Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Secret Technique.

Dragon transformation.

"Oh—"

Upon seeing him like this, the entire Soul Arena suddenly erupted in unprecedented cheers: "BeiBei! Thunderbolt BeiBei! Thunderbolt BeiBei!!"

Shrek, born to admire strength.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, only Xu Sanshi, sitting in the audience, gradually stiffened his expression.

So when you fought him, Beibei wasn't even using her full strength?
"You little brat, just how much are you hiding?!" Xu Sanshi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Heh~ I didn't expect you guys to be so strong. I almost got taken down in just a few moves."

On the field, Beibei wiped the blood spurting from his mouth and nose, his back steaming with heat from the broken, red scales. If he hadn't activated his dragon transformation at the crucial moment, he would most likely have been taken off the stage by now.

"You are the one. You truly deserve to be the leader of the senior students. Your strength is extraordinary."

Huo Yuhao muttered meaningless platitudes while his eyes were fixed on Bei Bei's dragon-transformed vertical pupils.

"You're in a bit of trouble now."

Tianmeng, watching the live stream from within her spiritual sea, earnestly reminded him, "Dragon-type soul beasts are born with extremely high spiritual resistance, and Beibei, after transforming into a dragon, will naturally have it as well. That's why he was able to withstand the spiritual impact and maintain the soul power defense on his body."

"You might really lose the fight."

In a sense, Bei Bei is a natural counter to Huo Yuhao, a Soul Master with a spiritual attribute.

Mental attacks are much less effective against him. He attacks quickly, and his skills are mostly energy attacks that can be used at both close and long range, in addition to the physical enhancements he receives after transforming into a dragon.

A perfect battle spirit master.

From all perspectives, it's fair to say that none of Huo Yuhao and his two companions have a chance of winning.

"is it?"

Feeling an indescribable sense of crisis and urgency, Huo Yuhao exhaled calmly, a fighting spirit surging in his eyes: "How will I know if I don't try?"

　So, why was Xu Sanshi able to fight Bei Bei to a draw...?
